• Vented rotor design to improve heat dissipation
• Nominal thickness of 1.57 inches (40 mm) with discard thickness at 1.52 inches (38.5 mm)
• Outside diameter of 13.98 inches (355 mm) for precise fitment
• Eight mounting bolt holes with a 7.09-inch (180 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Compatible with Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty models including Silverado 2500 HD, Sierra 3500 HD, and Suburban 3500 HD

Technical Details and Construction

The BR901026 rotor is made from full cast iron, providing a robust and wear-resistant braking surface. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor faces, reducing heat buildup during heavy braking and helping to maintain consistent brake performance. The rotor measures 13.98 inches in outside diameter and features a nominal thickness of 1.57 inches, with a discard thickness of 1.52 inches, ensuring it meets OEM specifications for safe operation. The eight mounting bolt holes with a 7.09-inch bolt circle diameter ensure secure attachment to the hub assembly. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a conventional, non-directional brake surface suitable for a range of installation orientations.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD
• GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD
• Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD

This rotor is designed for use in heavy-duty truck applications where reliable braking under load is critical. It addresses common issues such as brake fade, rotor warping, and uneven wear that can occur in demanding driving conditions.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping due to excessive heat
• Uneven rotor wear causing vibration or noise
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Overheating during heavy towing or hauling
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is within discard limits before mounting. Use proper torque specifications for the eight mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.
